Walked up in this guy today!!! I didn’t even see him. Was walking the property with a guy giving me an estimate for land clearing when he seen him. I’m sure glad he did cause he probably would have to carry me out of the woods!!

Protected too. I had one in my front yard last year and it was over 3' long. Had to gently relocate it to another part of the property.

Be safe.

exas Threatened and Endangered Species Protections

Animals

The Texas legislature has authorized regulations pertaining to the management, regulation, and protection of native animals listed as state threatened or endangered.

• Endangered animal species: Species of fish or wildlife indigenous to Texas are endangered if listed on the United States List of Endangered Native Fish and Wildlife or the list of fish or wildlife threatened with statewide extinction as filed by the director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD).
• Threatened animal species: Any species that TPWD has determined is likely to become endangered in the future.
• No person may capture, trap, take, or kill, or attempt to capture, trap, take, or kill, threatened or endangered fish or wildlife.

Still sounds pretty protected to me.

Until you read that it was removed from the list that the quoted law applies to.

As of this morning TPWD website still lists them as threatened.

You have official link that says otherwise?
